Mother ~ Lennon

This is an intense song, one which I believe we can all relate to in one way or another. John Lennon's parents, and the agony he felt for their loss are the focus of "Mother". Julia Lennon, was killed when John was 17 yrs old by an allegedly drunk-driving off-duty policeman who ran her over in a crosswalk. John's aunt Mimi raised him, which explains the line, "Mother you had me, but I never had you." His father, Alf Lennon, a merchant seaman, abandoned him as an infant for the sea and work. "I wanted you, you didn't need me" explains his feelings about his dad.

Yes it is very sad and I'm having a moment. However, I still have an appreciation for John's music. This particular song starts with church bells ringing signifying death. Lennon wrote this while he was undergoing "Primal Scream" therapy. He was dealing with a lot of issues that were detailed in the lyrics.

Rest in peace John, rest in peace mom and dad, I miss you all.

Time to move on to more upbeat music, thoughts and activities. I will be writing more fun blogs soon. Thanks for reading/listening.

This post and the posts below are not about any one person, just thoughts. :D

Oh Happy Day ~ Forgotten Music

Longfellow My Favorite Poet

The day is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It reains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the mouldering wall,
But at every gust more dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.

My life is cold and dark and dreary.
It rains and the wind is never weary.
My thoughts still cling to the mouldering past.
And youth's fond hopes fall thick in the blast.
And my life is dark and dreary.

Be still, sad heart and cease repining
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining
Thy fate is the common fate of all
Into each life some rain must fall
Some days must be dark and dreary.

A friend sent me this video...hmm nice but what?

My love to your mom, Holly, sister Tori, dad Aicel, grandparents Vicky and Bob. I'm so sorry.



July 2008. The last time we were together at the Waffle House in Austin, TX. We had just picked up the girls at the airport. Xi'an, Holly, and Tori. Ice and I were on the other side of the booth acting silly. We had fun... they ordered everything on the menu, then we sang on the way back to the house. Of course I sat in the back seat of the car with the girls and acted like a kid ~ but they love that.





THIS IS FOR YOU XI'AN .... YOUR FAVORITE VIDEO.

Oldies But Goodies

Damn I love music. (Why did I give my iPod away?) It says what we think and in a rhythmical way. I love to play the piano and sing. I also play the fife, yes you read it right.
I wish I was so high right now that I could really just lose myself in music the way I did when my friends and I would get a pound of weed, smoke our brains out and just get so into music there was nothing else in the world that mattered. What the musician was saying to us... that was our bible. I long for those days. Those days when we laughed until we cried and stayed together for entire weeks at a time. We had a special bond that has never been broken. I have been friends with these people since I was six years old. Guys you could sleep with, I mean sleep not sex and never had to worry about being taken advantage of, brothers. We had our own cocoon no one could penetrate it. Family, extended family. Closer than blood... family.
